My $0.02... I have it on good authority (i.e. I know) that City of Everett received more than one bid for the recently listed tank farm parcels that were on the market. I don't know the substance of the bids and I am in no way associated with the review of them; however, I do know that Everett...

They only sold the land... not the business. The sale price of the real estate does not reflect the value of the resort business, just the real estate. My parents did something similar several years ago. My dad owned and operated a flea market in South Florida. I don't remember the exact...

Wynn Resorts Sells Boston Property to Realty Income for $1.7 Billion https://news.google.com/articles/CAIiEFhfz1K27GfYClfbpdXPe7MqGQgEKhAIACoHCAow4uzwCjCF3bsCMIrOrwM

On a hunch, I wondered after your remark whether Epsilon Associates prepared the DPIR for this project. The answer is yes. I've noticed a common thread among many (all?) large projects submitted to BPDA that the documents themselves are almost universally prepared by Epsilon Associates, which...

It would also be more unpredictable, dangerous, and disruptive. If this garage wasn't hanging over a bus station, an interstate, Congress Street, an underground transit station, and two attached skyscrapers, I agree a wrecking ball or controlled demolition would be more sensible. Frankly, I'm...

Elevator Accessibility Upgrades These improvements look great! More stations' information at the link, but here's a little gem for all the NU/NEC alums that have dreamt of a Gainesborough/Camden St. entrance to Mass Ave station for years.

One Assemblification/manifest destiny project down, 20 more to go! :cool:

It appears the 27,000 sq. ft. SBWTC lot talked about is an air rights parcel (or at the very least it's on top of I-90). I'm as big a proponent for affordable housing--never mind more market rate housing--as the next person, but this proposal has me scratching my head. Given the high cost of...

I don’t know about the causation vs correlation argument, I just remember learning in a sociology class that there is this social phenomenon during inclement weather where certain criminal behaviors decline. Like, if an event happens that removes the opportunity for person-to-person interaction...

I can't speak to outlying major cities with homicide/crime trends, but I have my educated guesses about why Boston is experiencing diminishing numbers. When it comes to gentrification, I think that might be part of the conversation... but less so the displacement of long-time residents, and...

Meet the new casino boss. Holaday hopes to help Encore emerge from the pandemic Globe dropped a nice fluff piece about the new Encore Boston Harbor president. I couldn't help but notice this little nugget of info dropped in there. We've seen East of Broadway and could see the 'ghost massing'...

Thank you for sharing the BCDC presentation. This looks like a worthy addition to Back Bay. I'll be curious to see if/how it affects Boston Properties' proposed 'stack of books' design above Back Bay Station.

A few corrections: - The Encore Water Shuttle is only running Saturdays and Sundays through winter. Refer to their schedule here. - The Popeye Statue hasn’t been at Encore Boston Harbor for about a year… just sharing now to spare you any heartache later. - There are about 5-6 restaurants there...

Per the City of Everett’s Lower Broadway District Urban Renewal Plan and Transportation for the Future Plans, the answer looks to be yes. The ongoing Silver Line Extension (SLX) study is also affecting this area, so that will likely have implications on travel through this area.

The terrace in question might face Broadway, but it also faces the objectively well-landscaped gardens of the resort and the hotel tower, not to mention the new arched pedestrian walkway and the Encore marquis entrance. Wynn Resorts knows what they’re doing, just like New Balance, Federal...

A handful of other screen grabs from the submission.

I’ll defer to a moderator. Regardless, this will definitely be the first of apparently multiple Encore-owned, Encore-adjacent properties that will be topical on this forum for the foreseeable future.
